What's Causing Climate Change?
Climate forcings are factors that alter Earth's energy balance and drive changes in global temperature. This interactive allows exploration of how natural influences, such as solar variability and volcanic activity, compare with human-caused factors like greenhouse gases, aerosols, and land-use change. It supports understanding of climate modeling, evidence-based attribution, and the causes of observed global warming.
